The building features projecting end-wings and a five-bay central projection, which includes a further three-bay pedimented centre-piece. It has two storeys and a total of 21 bays. Originally, there was an open arcade on the ground floor, which has since been glazed. The windows are sash style with glazing bars and are set beneath segmental arches. The roofs are hipped.
